Good Evening, Officers.

Recently, under the command of the Sommerville, I aided in a patrol of the Cambridge system. We had entered via a jump hole in Leeds and so were far off from standard Armed Forces patrols. As soon as we entered the system we became aware of a Corsair fighter, by the name of 'Barbarossa'. As far as our scanners could tell us he was alone, so we moved into engage.
It quickly became aware to us that there were a few more fighters on the fringes of our scanners, however we were confident that with the Sommerville (A gunboat) and myself (A fighter) we could win. For the first portion of our engagement things went as planned and the Corsair fighters began to slowly break down. Following this prior achievement we noticed a Corsair Gunboat, appearing out from nowhere, joining the fray.
Even with the numbers against us we fought on, and managed to hold our own. In an attempt to 'push the blade home' the Sommerville attempted to separate the Corsair force by travelling through the jump hole and dividing the Corsair force. By jumping through the Leeds. However not taking the bait, the Corsairs remained with myself on the other side of the jump hole, the Sommerville was forced to return. Yet we persevered and continued fighting, this held out until one more Corsair ship (a bomber) appeared forcing us to withdraw through the jump hole.
Once through we continued to fight. It was at this moment that Lieutenant Commander Ree became aware of the incident and moved into assist (armed with a bomber). With his help we were able to break away at the gunboat. But with the loss of the Sommerville things began to turn for the worse.
Shortly after the destruction of the Sommerville Lieutenant Commander Ree was also lost in action. Under the order of Lieutenant Commander Ree, from his escape pod, I withdrew to the Battleship Derby.

With the unfortunate condition of my CO, the captain of the Sommerville, I felt it was my duty to report on the results of our patrol.

I also apologise for the lack of images, of the Corsair vessels in question. As although my ship did, safely, reach the Battleship Derby the on-board image recorder was damaged and so I was unable to retrieve any images of the vessels in question. I was however able too successfully retrieve the audio files, from the patrol.
